About us

A gateway to the Warwickshire countryside The Drum & Monkey is popular with both walkers and cyclists exploring the rural villages of Dorridge Bentley Heath which was once home to Lord Byron and Knowle with its 600-year old church. When the sun shines it’s not unusual to find the beer garden abuzz with ramblers and riders plotting their path over a pint of real ale or something sumptuous off the menu of traditional pub classics. The Drum & Monkey was established in 1860 and has always been a public house. In its early years however it was known as The White Lion Inn. It’s not clear precisely when the name changed but there is photographic evidence of the pub when it was still The White Lion as late as 1930.

Wow! Haven't visited in quite a few years and what have we been missing. Had a superb freshly cooked meal ( which in actual fact was better than a four star hotel we recently visited in Sidmouth) , service was brilliant, everyone was friendly - and the women's loos are the warmest we have ever visited!!. Four of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, so a big thank you to all the staff and we will definitely be back.

We were a big party so it can't have been easy serving us all night but Liberty (and everyone else working) was so helpful and attentive. Their kindness is a big part of why I love this place, as well as how good the food is. Their is a good range on the menu, fairly priced, good service time, and really tasty.

Brilliant night. Had a meal with a group of friends. Had the festive meal which was really good. Plenty of turkey, great roasts with lashings of gravy. Shan who looked after us was an absolute delight, always smiling and nothing was to much trouble. The band they had on made the night. Cannot wait for our next visit

Had a lovely lunch on Friday. We were a walk in, which was no trouble to the lovely staff. They went out of their way on service and were really attentive to my need to avoid dairy. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. Food was delicious too especially the pies!
